Ahhh. I see, look at man tty, getty and gettytab - I'm afraid your firmly in
the relms of termcap tho ;-)

look for the  `im' and `lm' entrys - and then change the default entry to
what you want: e.g.

default:\
        :ap:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t) - This is Dave's Risc BSD box\r\n\r\n: \
	:lm=login (If you dare!)\58 :sp#1200:
				^ the \58 is an attempt to get a ':'
				character dunno if it will work tho.

Will change to login message to:

NetBSD/arm32 (hawk.infotrek.co.uk) (ttyv0) - This is Dave's Risc BSD box

login (If you dare!):
